Let me start off by saying this was a disappointing season for us at
Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones. Although a total of 15 tropical cyclones developed, none reached major hurricane status and there was no significant damage, except in the case of
Hurricane Ingrid. The season even fell below most of the professionals expectations! In contrast, these articles are not disappointing. You see, because the season was lame, we were left with fewer articles and more time to improve them (compare this to the
2012 AHS, for instance).
Hurricanehink and
TropicalAnalystwx13 are co-nominators. Finally, this will be a WikiCup nomination.--

Outside of hurricanes, I've seen extremely few disasters with sub-10 fatalities and sub-$100k damages with separate articles.

Well, there's a general agreement that all tropical cyclones are notable. Named storms all get mentions in a variety of scientific documents, so there are always a bunch of verified independent sources. Andrea, Barry, and Ingrid are all essentially sub-articles. As content forks are allowed, I think they are all legitimate articles, considering I believe the season article would be too long (and overly focused with undue weight) with Andrea and Barry. ♫

You're not thinking about it the right way. Think about it like they are sub-articles of the season. 04:49, 6 June 2014 (UTC)— Preceding

Delegate comment This nomination has been up for a month, and really needs some more discussion to establish a consensus.--十八21:45, 5 June 2014 (UTC)reply
